Chateau Fontanes Pic Saint-Loup Rouge
2016, Pic Saint-Loup, Languedoc, France
Intense blackcurrant combines with toasty oak to give a nice rich mouthfeel with some grippy tannins, cleansing acidity and savoury intensity on the finish. Not a blockbuster style but much the better for it. Be forewarned, the bottle will not last long. 40% Syrah, 20% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 10% Cinsault, 10% Carignan.
